Criteria for Antique Vehicle Certification

The vehicle must be a minimum of 25 years old;

It must be as close to original as possible and in good restored or very presentable original condition; ( i.e., seats, door panels, head liner, carpets, etc. must all be in place and not worn out or torn up); and

The body must be complete with no rust holes or rough patches on the body, etc.

Modifications

Appearance of the Body

Only period type modifications are permitted, such as continental kits or fender skirts. There will be no alternation of the body chassis or suspension permitted.

Engine/Transmission

The engine and transmission are to be the original types installed in the model from the factory. In some cases, an updated drive train may be permitted if it is of original type and appearance (such as a Chev 265 cubic inch may be updated to a 305 and 350 cubic inch provided it is of original appearance) for the vehicle for which it is installed and has original style top pans, manifold, dome, carburetor and air cleaner. Under no circumstances will performance built engines, torque converters or transmissions be approved.

Interior

The vehicle is to be original inside but may be converted to bucket seats and console provided these are the correct type for that model in that year. For example, a car which came from the factory with a bench seat may be altered to bucket seats if the correct bucket seats are used.

Dashboard

The dash is to be original with correct instrumentation. No altering of the dash is permitted. For example, the cutting of holes to fit gauges or the modifications of dash plates to take gauges will not be allowed. The conversion of the factory radio to AM/FM stereo will be permitted provided it requires no alternation to the original dash.

Tires and Wheels

Tires and wheels are to be of the original type used on the vehicle from the factory and may be factory mags of that year; for example, Mustang's of the 60's with the correct style steel wheels center and trim rings. No custom wheel or wide tires requiring cutting or altering of the wheel opening will be permitted.
